On both peer ACEs, configure an FT peer definition in the Admin context only.
You can configure a maximum of two ACEs as redundancy peers.
To create an FT peer, use the ft peer command in configuration mode. The syntax
of this command is:
ft peer peer_id
The peer_id argument specifies a unique identifier for the peer. You can only
enter 1.
For example, enter:
host1/Admin(config)# ft peer 1
Before you can remove an FT peer from the configuration, remove the peer from
the FT group. See the
To remove the FT peer from the configuration, enter:
host1/Admin(config)# no ft peer 1
After you create an FT peer, configure the peer attributes as described in the
following topics:
Associating the FT VLAN with the Local Peer
•
Configuring the Heartbeat Interval and Count
•
Configuring a Query Interface
•
After you create an FT peer, associate the existing FT VLAN with that local peer
so that it can communicate with the remote peer. The redundancy peers use this
dedicated FT VLAN to exchange heartbeat packets and flow-state information.
For information about configuring an FT VLAN, see the
VLAN" section.
To associate an FT VLAN with a peer, use the ft-interface command in FT peer
configuration mode. The syntax of this command is:
ft-interface vlan vlan_id
